If you have been terminated from your job without receiving the compensation or benefits you are entitled to, find out how our experienced Redwood City compensation attorneys can help. Severance benefits provide income assurance in the event you are terminated from your job. In some cases, these benefits may be negotiated at the time you are let go and may be based on what the company typically offers employees in similar situations. In other cases, a severance plan may have been in existence since the day you were hired and included as part of your overall employee benefits.
